Roy squeezed her hand Alice smiled at himThe senior club special is a lot food for themThey act like teenagers or the best of friendsWith one hundred-eighty years between the two of themBack during the war at a wild country-danceHe thought she'd ignore him but he took the chanceFifteen songs later he still held her closeAnd a million dances since then hasn't been enough

They wear love like lighting,It's something to seeAnd the years of their true loveSits up on their sleeves.

Alice nudged Roy and points with her spoonThere sits two young lovers across the crowded roomYou can tell by their look she say's kind of giddy and flushedRoy grinned wry and wicked and Alice smiled and blushed

They wear love like lighting,It's something to seeAnd the years of their true loveSits up on their sleeves.

Roy gets a little misty Alice pats his handHe's thinking bout the boy they lost in VietnamAnd the girl he'd brought home, and then left behindAnd 40 years later she still sends cards at Christmastime

They wear love like lighting,It's something to seeAnd the years of their true loveSits up on their sleeves.

Roy said, "Remember Alice you almost burned your diaryAll those poems and love letters I sent from overseasAlice says" I couldn't, even though I triedAnd I suppose the children will really be surprised."

They wear love like lighting,It's something to seeAnd the years of their true loveSits up on their sleeves.

Roy touched her face, Alice smiles at himBowed her heads a moment and whispered "Amen"If you look a little sideways, I'm not sure what it meansII swear it was an angel, that passed her the cream
